This is was a chance discovery - we hadn't booked a place in Kandy and, since it was off season, thought we'd figure it out as we went. A few quick searches and review-research later, we decided on "Hotel Elegant". It took us a while to find it since it's slightly outside the city and you have to go through... More

The view, the environment, the ambiance, the service, the meals...all were excellent to make it one of the best guesthouses that we have ever stayed. The hotel is a little bit far away from town, but the extraordinary view over mountains recompense all. The hotel owner is someone of extremely kind and attentive. The service is compatible with taht in... More

We certainly will be going back to this little piece of heaven. We regret not having spent more time there. If anyone is visiting Kandy and surroundings this is the place to be. It is on top of a big hill and offers magnificent vistas of the surrounding mountains. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, you will... More

Wow, what a place. This is what dreams are made of. Gorgeous views both sides of the property and from the rooms. Attentive service, great food and spotlessly clean rooms. I wish I could have stayed longer! Simply the best place I have ever stayed

After a long day travelling, it was an absolute joy to arrive at Elegant. We were all pleased with our rooms and it was lovely to sit out on the terrace for dinner and breakfast. I think, on another trip, we would probably stay 2 or 3 nights and explore the area and Kandy further but this was a bit... More

I spent three nights at this property in late February, and highly recommend it to TripAdvisor readers. The quality of construction is excellent, the views wonderful, the garden delightful, the wifi and hot water work, and the owner is friendly, knowledgeable and aims to please. The location 20 minutes from Kandy is a blessing, as it affords guests a respite... More

We were pleasantly welcomed to this homely hotel after a long and nerve-wracking drive. Our room was just the right size and spotlessly clean. The balconies presented breath-taking views of sunset and sunrise. The staff were very helpful and did their best to make us feel at home. The local food was good and was served with style. Will definitely... More

Stunning scenery, beautiful garden, ( it's got a proper lawn and boarders with flowers and shrubs) Every thing just works! And has been thought out eg. Light switches in the right place, bedside tables etc it all flows. It's the attention to detail, unusually found in Sri Lanka Sit out on the veranda in the peace and quiet, with the... More

Lovely garden and the hotel itself has become a highlight of our trip in Kandy, aside from The Temple of Tooth. The hotel will arrange tuk tuk for city tour at a reasonable price (you still pay the tuk tuk driver and bargain with him directly). The manager and staff were extremely patient and helpful. We had the mountain view... More
